WordPress Podcast Player

While this is a pretty great addon player for your website and podcast I ran into issues using it in a MU environment it kept not saving the episode and settings. On the test site it seemed to be ok. What is does is add some additional work if you already use something like blubrry. But it does add a couple great things to your show by allowing you to add notes that will appear below the show at specific times and have some automated links to download the show. All in all I tough it would be a great idea to add in just did not get it to work correctly in MU environment or it could be a conflict with the many other plugins on the main site.

WD Instagram Feed

Instagram Feed WD allows displaying Instagram feeds based on public Instagram accounts and hashtags. You can create mixed feeds based on multiple accounts, multiple hashtags or any combination of both with Pro version.

Rating: 4 out of 5 (Pro version is 5/5 though!)

WP Better Emails

All emails from WordPress (lost password, notifications, etc.) are sent by default in text/plain format. WP Better Emails wraps them with a much better looking customizable HTML email template and lets you also set your own sender name and email address. I liked this, but the table layout made aligning a company logo with text almost impossible. Otherwise it worked great for getting rid of the admin user as the primary sender/reply to on system emails.
